"Securing and having the right measures of cybersecurity relates to the national security of the whole country and our national income." Reem Al-Shammari is the chief information security officer for the Kuwait Oil Company. She sits at the intersection of a massive swath of her country's economy - oil and gas - and the need to secure it against emerging threats faster than government regulations can be established.
